BoomTV Code Red $20k event: Results & Recap

With 32 of Warzone’s most talented Duos dropping into Verdansk at the same time, lobbies were absolutely stacked. Right from the beginning, it was all about pushing the pace as the likes of Jukeyz & fifakill, HusKerrs & newbz, and EU duo itzwarsz & Lenun all coming out with quick wins.

On the opposite side of the equation, big names like Swagg & Booya and DrDisrespect & ZLaner were all wiped out in the very first round of the lower bracket.

The final few showdowns were extremely close but ultimately, it was Newbz & HusKerrs that cruised to the grand finals against JoeWo & Stukuwaki, winning it all despite their Loser’s Bracket disadvantage.

With the Season 6 update crashing through in the middle of their series, a winner was finally crowned after 14 hours of competition.
